520    "Minnie Wallace Walkup Ketcham's criminal career as an 
       unsung triple murderess and black widow... is told in rich
       detail and with pleasingly dark wit." -- Keven McQueen, 
       author of Louisville Murder & Mayhem What's a gal to do 
       when her loaded lover is getting to be a nuisance? Why, 
       just murder him and take all his money, of course. If you 
       want to be fabulously single with tons of cash, just 
       follow the lead of the beautiful and conniving Minnie 
       Wallace Walkup Ketcham, who left a trail of broken hearts,
       empty wallets, and corpses. Minnie was just 16 when she 
       stood trial in 1885 for the wrongful death of her first 
       husband, a successful businessman and politician almost 40
       years her senior. Despite overwhelming witness testimony 
       that the Creole beauty from New Orleans had purchased the 
       arsenic that killed him, Minnie's own testimony brought 
       the entire courtroom to tears. She was acquitted. Minnie 
       returned to New Orleans with James Walkup's fortune, life 
       insurance, Civil War pension, and all the expensive 
       clothes she had shipped home before he even died. Minnie 
       still didn't have enough cash for her liking, so she 
       successfully targeted, seduced, and murdered two more 
       wealthy older men while evading justice in the courtroom 
       (and escaping her lawyer's fees, too). How to Murder Your 
       Wealthy Lovers and Get Away With It is an extraordinary 
       and off-the-wall true story of intrigue, scandal, and 
       murder. "Compelling and entertaining... A great guide to 
       one of America's most thrilling true stories." -- Mike 
       Flannery, political editor, FOX 32 News Chicago "This 
       gossipy true crime account paints a comprehensive portrait
       of a woman shrouded in mystery." -- Publishers Weekly"--
